Abstract: A video display, which may be a television receiver with associated set top device, an intelligent television receiver, or a personal computer system enabled for television display, has associated therewith a remote control which controls modification of the visual images displayed. By use of the remote control, a human observer may cause a processor controlling the video display to execute a control program formulated in a particularly concise language and controlling the display of menus and the like. Menus are displayed as overlays onto a live motion video image. A display controller and video reception circuitry cooperating for displaying full motion video visual images occupying a minor portion of a viewable screen area and a menu display occupying a major portion of the screen area.

Abstract: A display generating system, and particularly a computer such as a mobile client system, in which a control program such as an application or interface program cooperates with a processor in reflowing table elements. In particular, the present invention breaks apart tabular portions of documents to be displayed and reorganizes such portions to facilitate top-to-bottom or vertical scrolling while retaining all information to be displayed.

Abstract: Television viewers are presented with the opportunity to be diverted during intervals such as display of commercials, delays pending initiation of a near video on demand signal stream, and the like. The diversions take the form of freezing a frame of the video being supplied, and then overlaying on the frozen frame various game playing constructs manipulable by the remote control (20) used to perform other control functions for the display device. The display device may be a television receiver linked to a set top device, an intelligent television receiver, or a personal computer provided with television image reception and display capability.
